Laptop for modeling?

I'm looking to get a laptop, mainly for modeling and Photoshop purposes.

I'm not sure if it'll be a desktop replacement or not, but if it will be, I'd like to play a few games on occasion on it.

I've looked around, and so far the Dell Precision seems to be the best choice I can find.

I think it's pretty much focused on 3D work.

Any suggestions?

Anything that can play Crysis is handy.
